Mr.. Geo. c. Burgess, Secretary Board Of Health,
city:
Dear Strive wish to call the attention of your

opposite the Butler School, near the corner of
West and Pine streets, where filthy and stagnant

for disease in that vicinity as have been apparent
for long time.
Respectfully,

of expressing my feelings. Her appetite began to
pick up and soon we could hardly give her enough
to eat. She also gained strength, could stand
alone and the sore on her head began to grow less
